### 3/5 — Good idea

*2026-06-20*

The app is good but the physical debit card never works ??! I always have to hand enter or call or order a new card

### 5/5 — Clean and Simple!

*2025-12-14*

This updated app makes it super easy to check my balance and see all my transactions. Pretty simple to get around, got a notification very quickly after I used my card at the pharmacy and overall it looks very clean, professional.

### 3/5 — EBCentral

*2025-12-12*

Updated to new app and after logging in go to view activity and I get thrown out.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’ve resolved the intermittent crash on Activity pages in the latest app update(2.5.1), including cases related to larger or bold text accessibility settings. Please make sure you’re running the most recent version and try again. If you’re still experiencing this, please contact participantservices@ebcflex.com and we’ll be happy to assist.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2025-12-12*

All I am able to do is see balances and file claims.  When I try to view my transaction activity it exits out of the app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this - we wanted to let you know this issue has been resolved in the latest version of the app. The crash affecting Activity pages was intermittent and related to certain accessibility settings, and it’s now fixed. Please update to the most recent version and try again. If you’re still experiencing any issues, reach out to us at participantservices@ebcflex.com and we’ll be happy to help.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-12-11*

This new app interface slays. It’s easy to use on the go. Thank you for the real time notifications for account activity. I love the transparency and responsiveness.

### 4/5 — Much improved!

*2025-11-15, version 2.4.0*

Thank you for the improvements! Feels more like a modern app now.

### 5/5 — Helpful and informative app

*2025-11-15*

I never have an issue with this app. Every easy to use and submit documentation.

### 2/5 — Plays insurer with your money.

*2025-10-29, version 2.3.1*

Administrator plays fast and loose and asks for documentation practically every time the "benefits card" in use. Denies medically necessary expenses by saying they are not medically necessary. Basically, acts as a health insurer with your money.

### 3/5 — Horrible

*2025-04-28, version 1.9.1*

The app just stopped working. I unloaded it and reloaded it signed in and all it does is spin spin spin and I can’t see any of my information then it signs you out. Please fix this app!

### 2/5 — Logs out every time!

*2024-12-30, version 1.9.1*

It’s crazy that Face ID or some sort of telemetry isn’t functioning on this app. It logs out every single time and doesn’t save any username or password.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not show all accounts

*2026-05-13*

Doesn’t even show investments accounts.  Missing functionality and forces you back to website via computer.

### 1/5 — Submitted Receipts

*2026-01-21*

I shouldn’t have to submit every receipt for an appointment I go to every week

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-01-13*

There are features, such as requesting a replacement card, that cannot be performed on the website for which one must have the app or call the help line. Problem is the app does not currently work on IPhone so you have to wait on hold waiting for help. EBFlex knows the app doesn’t work on Iphone, but it’s been months now with no fix so I assume they just don’t care. The app will open,  but if you try to login you get an error that your user name or password is wrong. 

Meanwhile, the recorded message in the help line touts this POS as the solution to all your problems. This company couldn’t be more jacked up. Absolute buffoons.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-12-23*

I can never log in and keep seeing a “We’re having trouble connecting right now. Try again in a few minutes.”

I have been trying for days still no luck.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this - we know how frustrating that can be. This message can appear intermittently for a few different reasons and we’re currently researching reports like this. As a first step, we recommend deleting and reinstalling the app, which has resolved similar issues for users in the past. If you’re still unable to log in after trying this, please reach out to us at participantservices@ebcflex.com so we can help troubleshoot further.

### 1/5 — Update sent me backwards!

*2025-12-14*

Trying to use new EBC update and every time I click on what I want to view, the app closes. Even after rebooting my phone.

**Developer response:** We appreciate you flagging this. The issue you described has been fixed in the latest version of the app. It was an intermittent crash that could occur when navigating certain screens and has now been resolved. Please update to the newest version and give it another try. If this is still happening, please reach out to participantservices@ebcflex.com so we can help.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-10-14, version 2.3.1*

I thought the last person was just struggling but I can log in anywhere EXCEPT the app. Pretty terrible way to start the experience.

### 1/5 — Can’t submit claim

*2025-03-13, version 1.9.1*

No log in issue. However, during claim submission process, the screen doesn’t go anywhere after entering all information and uploading picture, next button doesn’t do anything.

### 1/5 — Inoperable

*2025-01-03, version 1.9.1*

Useless if you have an HSA. Constant “document” requests for how you use your money that won’t work. Customer service can’t help without transferring the call to three different people.

### 1/5 — THE WORST.

*2024-12-31, version 1.9.1*

Can’t even log in. Just got the account and can log in through the website but not through the app to ACTIVATE MY ACCOUNT. I NEED TO USE THE CARD THATS WHY WE GOT IT AND NOW I CANT EVEN USE IT UNTIL ITS FREAKING ACTIVATED EVEN THOUGHT THE PAPER CLEARLY SAYS NO ACTIVATION REQUIRED. SUING FOR FALSE INFORMATION GIVEN. Hate this company already.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-12-18, version 1.9.1*

Worked fine for last 3 years and now all I get is a blank screen

*2026-03-18*

This app is easy to navigate, fast to submit documents, and efficient when reviewing transactions and documentation. After submitting proof of purchase, the approval comes back quickly, so there’s no sitting and wondering if there’s any issues with your purchases. I appreciate this app and how fast everything goes!

### 5/5 — Very Easy To Use
